In a nutshell Scientists/Professors at Harvard, Ohio State, Toronto and Texas all came to the conclusion that Music, more so music training improves cognitive skills along with other important brain functions. Studies also show that music training at a young age (children) more signs are significant and more easier than an adult just starting out. So what I got out of this is that if you instill music theory and just music in your childs life from the beginning they have a better chance of early childhood development.

Pros:

Music intervention strengthens the basic auditory music perception skills of children with dyslexia may also remediate some of their language deficits.

Musical training (but not necessarily passive listening to music) affects attention and memory, which provides a mechanism whereby musical training might lead to better learning across a number of domains.

Preschool children who had taken music lessons with those who did not, showed larger brain responses on a number of sound recognition tests given to the children, and research indicated that musical training appears to modify the brain’s auditory cortex..

Cons:

The affect of music on the brain, he said the studies do not necessarily show that musical training leads to enhanced IQ or creativity.

The effects of musical training on cognition for adults, Schellenberg said, are harder to pin down.

Authentic self-expression, the kind that happens when we are radiating from our truth, releases a mystical healing energy. I released that energy as I sang.

Lisa Hartt's insight:

Authentic self-expression, the kind that happens when we are radiating from our truth, releases a mystical energy. I understand now why I am so touched by certain musicians. I can feel them because they bring every part of themselves to the moment and offer it up to the world like a precious gift. Their vulnerability touches ours — the part of us that longs to be felt.

Having breathing difficulties? Try singing KHOU "Since many people enjoy singing, we thought it would help them associate controlling their breathing with something pleasant and positive rather than a standard physiotherapy technique," said Dr.

I personally relate to this topic because i've always been able to notice the difference in me when i sing or hear music. It makes me calmer and less tense. The site seems to be pretty reliable. It can be a major informational resource for audio industry professionals because it can remind them why they are in their profession and that profession is important because now it's scientifically proven that music helps people.

This is really interesting! I never knew that i've never heard of using singing as a form of therapy to like help people recover their due to a trauma of some sort. But I have heard of someone with a stutter who would purposefully talk in a sing-songy voice to avoid stutter because when you sing you can't stutter. The website is bbc so i think they are pretty reliable. It can be a major informational resource for audio industry professionals because maybe they can use this form of therapy for someone they know or maybe even themselves.

In this article there was a lot of talk generating that singing helps breathing problems such as COPD, which is a progressive disease that makes it hard to breathe, because the condition can cause air sacs within the lungs to lose crucial elasticity or destroy them along with stimulating an over-production of clogging mucus, states the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.

Pros:

According to the Study by Hopkinson patients who did attend training versus those who didn't said they felt better.

Singing creates a sense of well being.

Vocal exercises, associated with the practice of singing, can naturally strengthen the diaphragm and establishes a deeper breathing technique.

Cons:

Clinical trials conducted by Hopkinson and his colleagues have found little actual improvement in performed breathing tests.

The number one rule in singing is breathing. In order to sing you need breathe. It makes sense that in this case singing is used as form of therapy because by singing like the article states you learn to strengthen your lungs and diaphragm so that could help a lot with breathing problems. The website the article is from is inquisitr so i believe it's reliable. It can be a major informational resource for audio industry professionals because the can use this to help others or themselves is they suffer form breathing problems like asthma.

Read samples from Ann's Atkinson Fellowship series on Women and Alcohol.

Lisa Hartt's insight:

Booze is a Loan Shark

Hang out in the brightly lit rooms of AA, or in coffee shops, talking to dozens of women who have given up drinking, and this is the conclusion you come to: for most people, booze is a loan shark, someone they trusted for a while, came to count on, before it turned ugly. Every alcoholic, it seems, learns this the hard way.

A seniors' community choir rehearses at the Mission Neighborhood Centers. Over the next four years, a dozen such choirs will be created around San Francisco as part of a UCSF research project exploring whether singing ...

Lisa Hartt's insight:

Seniors respond to music so well and it allows the memories to center on pleasant and inspiriational ideas rather than regrets. It is healthy for the mind.

I thought this article was lovely. They actually created choirs for seniors as a form of therapy for them. It was lovely to read how the seniors enjoy their time in choir and how the founders hope it can not only help with loneliness but maybe also with any underline illnesses like dementia and alzheimer's. I hope in the end this those end being beneficial to all the members. The article is on a edu page so I'd like to say it's reliable. This can be a major informational resource for audio industry professionals because with this knowledge they can use their profession to help others.

Now, if you haven't felt the spiritual shift yet, and want to know what it is in a nutshell, and don't care if I spoil it for you, here it is -- "oneness." (The Beatles were way ahead of their time singing about the spiritual shift and our connectedness...

Lisa Hartt's insight:

Now, if you haven't felt the spiritual shift yet, and want to know what it is in a nutshell, and don't care if I spoil it for you, here it is -- "oneness." That's right, it's about the "quality or state of being one," and what that means is that we are all connected. You might be thinking, "Is that it?" or "Wow, that's so cool!" or "Ah, so that's what The Beatles were saying in their song, 'I Am The Walrus' -- 'I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.'" (For those of you who don't know it, look it up.)

This essay is adapted from Imperfect Harmony: Finding Happiness While Singing With Others by Stacy Horn, out now from Algonquin Books. I used to think choir singing was only was for nerds and church people.

Lisa Hartt's insight:

Singing is such a surefire way of feeling good that even singing about death is life-enhancing, which is fortunate, because if you sing in a choir, you're going to be singing about death.

As someone who participated in choir for most of her school career i found this very interesting. It makes sense because if you're singing together then you are breathing together so in a way your hearts do synchronize because you heart beat slows with every breath and rises when you sing. The website is bbc so i believe it to be pretty reliable. I don't really find this a major informational resource for audio industry professionals but more of a fun fact.
